The storyLines 1 to 8

A stigma is the part of a flower that catches pollen, so the title means both a mark of shame and the spot where something new begins. The hook holds grief and hope the same way: a mourning dove on one side, named for its sad call, and butterflies on the other, with her at the center of what he's telling.

The storyLines 9 to 17

The verse turns the relationship into a book. He numbers his points like a list, wants her name in the front of it, and asks for her number before she walks out. Then he jumps ahead a step, already all in.

Film and TVLines 31 to 32

Rocky Balboa

Things getting rocky means they're falling apart, and Rocky is the underdog boxer Sylvester Stallone wrote and played. Stallone also rhymes with being left alone, which he asks for a line earlier.

MusicLine 33

A House Is Not a Home

Luther Vandross's 1981 take on the Burt Bacharach song about a place that's empty without the one you love.

The storyLine 34

He's a Y2K baby, born at the turn of the millennium. NBA 2K is the basketball game where a hard crossover can break a defender's ankles, so 2K does double duty.

The storyLines 38 to 39

Gringo sounds like green, go, and the next line asks for a green light and gets red instead, said in Spanish. Their story is stuck at a stop.

The storyLine 53

Cap is slang for a lie, and a trucker is a kind of cap, so he swears he's honest by naming a hat.

BrandLine 54

Smucker's

The Ohio company best known for its jams and jellies. To jam out is to play music loud, so turning up a song lands on Smucker's.

AnimationLine 55

Buster Baxter

The rabbit who's Arthur's best friend on the PBS cartoon Arthur.

AthleteLine 57

Russell Westbrook

The former NBA MVP who made the number 0 famous over his years in Oklahoma City. His promise that he'll be somebody turns into a nod to Westbrook's jersey.

The storyLines 58 to 65

The song ends with him still holding the book out to her. He's proud of what he wrote, he can't tell whether she's even started it, and all he can do is wait for her to keep going.
